The oldest amber with arthropod inclusions comes from the Late Triassic (late Carnian c. 230 Ma) of Italy, where four microscopic (0.2–0.1 mm) mites, Triasacarus, Ampezzoa, Minyacarus and Cheirolepidoptus, and a poorly preserved nematoceran fly were found in millimetre-sized droplets of amber.

It is the oldest source of amber with a significant number of inclusions. Up to 300 sources of Lebanese amber have been recovered and 17 of them are important sources of organic inclusions, which are the oldest of their kind. The inclusions help to document Cretaceous fauna and flora. Tyruschrysa melqart, a green lacewing larvae
Other significant arachnid fossils include some of the oldest ticks, [21] as well as the oldest mesostigmatan [22] and opilioacarid mites. [23] Beetles (Coleoptera), reflecting their modern diversity, are represented by over 100 famiilies and over 500 species, with Hymenoptera (bees, wasps, ants and sawflies) represented by 70 families and 350 ...

Burmese amber is fossil resin dating to the early Late Cretaceous Cenomanian age recovered from deposits in the Hukawng Valley of northern Myanmar. It is known for being one of the most diverse Cretaceous age amber paleobiotas, containing rich arthropod fossils, along with uncommon vertebrate fossils and even rare marine inclusions. A mostly ...
The discovery comes from a fossil of an ancient firefly species that was initially discovered in 2016, trapped in 99 million-year-old Burmese amber from northern Myanmar. The beetle is only the ...
Charentese amber - opaque amber found in the Aquitaine Basin, France. Cretaceous (Cenomanian) age. Cambay amber - amber from Gujarat, India, unlike most ambers readily dissolves in solvents, Eocene age. Dominican amber - nearly always transparent, and having a higher number of fossil inclusions than Baltic amber, Miocene age amber.
The amber was recovered in 2001 from the Noije Bum 2001 Summit Site, a fossil amber mine in Hukawng Valley, Kachin State of Myanmar. The site is dated to the Albian-Cenomanian (97 to 110 million years ago) of the Early Cretaceous epoch. As of 2011, this makes Myanmymar aresconoides the oldest known fossil mymarid recovered. [1]
